The implementation of policies has allowed relocated villagers to lead more fulfilling lives and has given Francois' monkeys a better environment in the nature reserve. There are about 2,000 wild Francois' monkeys in the world, of which around 730 inhabit the Mayang River Nature Reserve. As being neighbors with Francois' monkeys become a thing of the past, people from Daping Village are embracing the new life they have hoped for.
